Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the star guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, has been recognized as the NBA's Clutch Player of the Year, making history as the first player from the franchise to receive this honor since the award's inception in 2023. During the regular season, Gilgeous-Alexander excelled in high-pressure situations, scoring a remarkable 175 points in the final five minutes of games with a score differential of five points or less. He accomplished this feat in just 125.1 minutes, significantly less time than Jamal Murray, who finished second with 166 points. Gilgeous-Alexander's performance has not only earned him this accolade but also a spot as a finalist for the NBA's Most Valuable Player award, alongside notable players like Nikola Jokic from Denver and Victor Wembanyama from San Antonio. The announcement date for the MVP award has yet to be confirmed.
